Create the perfect kid’s room

C

reating the perfect children’s room is a challenge. Unlike other rooms, such as the bathroom, main bedroom or living area, a successful child’s space has to be multifunctional (as a play space, homework room, sleeping area and entertainment zone for when friends pop around), but it should also be visually appealing, comfortable and reasonably easy to keep tidy.

So how do you achieve all that?

Get your children involved in the planning and design process, as it is their room after all. Spend plenty of time planning where all

the elements – shelves and cabinets to cover off the storage needs, a desk or craft table, a reading chair and, of course, the bed – will go. And don’t forget to include some free f oor space for playing and building all that Lego.

If you’re buying all the furniture from scratch, start with the bed and buy other elements to match that.

Once you have the f oor plan sorted and all the furniture ready to go, you can think about the decorating style. Get the children involved in this too, but remember their tastes will change as they age – that Giggle and Hoot or Peppa Pig curtain they are desperate for

6 My Renovation \ February, 2015

22/01/2015 1:26:13 PM

Play it safe Curtain and blind cords pose a serious risk to young children. So, if you’re planning to install blinds in a young child or infant’s room, be sure to pick up cleats, tensioning devices or a safety kit to keep the cords out of reach. Have the cot or bed away from the window and keep furniture clear too – curious toddlers have climbed on furniture to pull at cords.

This sweet reclaimed timber toddler chair, $95, makes us feel all nostalgic. From rawsunshinecoast.com.au.

today will be old news in 12 months.

Are you happy to fork out more cash to update it so soon?

As a rule of thumb it’s a good idea to invest in quality furniture with simple lines and colours and update every year or so with accessories, such as bedspreads, cushions and inexpensive rugs.

When choosing colours, have your child pick just one hue and then go from there. So rather than having a blue bed, green feature wall and orange and yellow accessories, use just one colour in varying shades.

You’ll f nd that the room is still bright without being overwhelmed by colour.

Work station Invest in a desk for older children or a small craft table for younger kids. Ensure storage is nearby to keep all those pencils, colouring-in books and craft bits and pieces tidy.

A place for everything The bottom line with storage is you can never have enough. A bookshelf divided into various compartments is handy not just for books, but will keep toys within reach and on display, and importantly off the f oor. Invest in plastic crates, fabric tubs or bastket-weave boxes that slide onto shelves for storing smaller toys.

Decorating a nursery?

The f rst item you will probably purchase for your nursery is the cot – remember to buy only an item that meets Australian safety standards.

You’ll also need to pick up a change table and some storage, plus a chair for feeds. Don’t limit yourself to a pink or blue colour scheme. A neutral palette with lots of whites, soft browns, greens and yellow will look fantastic and will see your child through the toddler years as well.

KITCHEN //

Buying a coffee machine?

There are basically three types of coffee machines: capsule or pod machines, where you simply pop in a pod, press a button and enjoy your caffeine hit; automatic machines, which basically grind the beans, froth the milk and extract the espresso for you, all at the touch of a button; and manual machines, where you can be your own barista and control the process yourself.

Prices vary greatly but you can pay as little as $100 for a capsule machine. Set aside anywhere from $100 to about $800 for a manual machine and upwards of $1500 for a decent fully automatic model. If you’re serious about your espresso, you can pick up a semi-commercial machine for about $3000 or a commercial machine for $4000 to $20,000. If you want a machine that lasts, invest in one with a stainless steel rather than plastic body, and if you’re grinding your own beans, invest in a decent grinder – the quality of your home brew all comes down to the beans, and if you’re grind is no good, you’ll never be able to make a good coffee.

How much is a mixer?

In the market for a kitchen mixer?

You can head to your local hardware store and pick up a basic model for as little as $30. For something with a bit more style, budget about $100 to $150. Those after features such as a retractable spray will be spending about $160 to $300, but if money is not an issue, splash out $1000 or more for your kitchen tap.

BATHROOM //

Improve water eff ciency in the bathroom by: • Retrof tting your toilet and taps to products with the highest WELS rating you can f nd.

• Installing a low-f ow showerhead – the latest products are so good you won’t even notice a difference.

Join the dark side For a striking centrepiece that will contrast beautifully with your white walls, why not consider a black basin. An unusual choice that also looks fantastic atop a timber vanity, black bathroom basins are a striking addition. The good news is they are available in gloss or matte f nishes in a range of shapes and styles.

Lighting layers When choosing lighting for your bathroom, remember, it is all about layers. Ensure there is enough task lighting around the mirror for shaving and make-up application, invest in ambient lighting for the whole room and grab an accent light or two to create contrast and interest.

DON’T MOVE...

Black and white While you might spend months sweating over the choice of tile for the bathroom, often the grout you choose to go with it is little more than an afterthought. But grout greatly impacts the look of your tiling job. So do you go for light-coloured grout or something with a bit more depth? A darker coloured grout will hide the dirt and make your white tiles look even brighter, and provide interest in an all-white room. Just be sure to use gentle cleaning products that won’t bleach the colour from the grout.

STYLE //

4 ICONIC CHAIRS These beauties aren’t just chairs, but stunning pieces from the world’s most influential designers.

Heart Cone Dane Verner Panton used bold colours and hard plastic, an approach that was at odds with Denmark’s many other modernist designers.

The Barcelona Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s MR90 chair (now more widely known as the Barcelona) was created for the 1929 World Exposition in Spain.

Fine dining tips Round tables are perfect for small spaces, and are suited to informal rooms because they allow for circulation.

Rectangular tables are better for formal spaces.

When shopping for a new dining setting remember, you don’t have to buy a matching ensemble.

Choose the chairs and dining table separately for a more dynamic look.

When choosing lighting, a pendant is perfect. Have a dimmer installed so you can control the mood of the dining experience.

GLASS ACT

The Shell Hans J Wegner designed his beautiful three-legged chair in 1963. A minimalist, many of Wegner’s pieces were created from timber.

MR20 Also designed

by Mies van der Rohe, the MR20 was created as a piece for the masses – the tubular steel frame was cheap to produce.

Choosing a window dressing? In 2015 it will all be about the curtain.

Interior designers are moving away from minimalism and creating softer looks by dressing windows in fabric. Choose a shorter curtain for an informal space. Longer curtains that puddle on the floor create drama in more formal rooms.

TIPS //

Paint tip If you’re after a fresh, white interior, choose your white paint for the walls, then use the same colour but in a semi-gloss for architraves and skirting boards.

Finish up with the same colour in half strength for the ceiling.

When choosing flooring, remember that it will last longer than furniture, paintwork and soft furnishings, so choose a floor that will work with various colour schemes and styles.

Thinking about retiring? If you’ve got extra cash and want to pay it off your mortgage before retirement, don’t. It makes much more sense to place extra money in your super through salary sacrificing. The tax concessions mean you can save a lot of money, and you’ll have plenty of super to use to pay off your mortgage once you retire.

Insulation fact cil of Uninspired by insulation? According to the Insulation Council Australia and New Zealand (ICANZ), insulation can save the average home owner 30 per cent off his or her heating and cooling bills.

ICANZ also says it won’t take too many years for the home owner to reap the rewards of investing in insulation – it will pay for itself about three to f ve years after it’s installed.

Hit the roof The roof is one of the largest aspects of your home, and while for the most part it is out of sight and therefore out of mind, your choice of roof materials, shape and colour will greatly affect the look and feel of your home.

We’ve really come far since the days when the choice of roof material was just tiles or tin. Tiles, however, are still a popular choice for many home renovators, and they can be made from slate or terracotta, clay, even concrete and plastic. You can even get tiles that generate solar power.

Other roof tiles are made from recycled materials, and of course there are the steel roofs, such as Zincalume and Colorbond.

You choice of material will affect how well your home handles our hot summer sun. Concrete and terracotta,

for example, slowly absorb the day’s heat and then release it at night, which means it’s much more comfortable inside. Nowadays, though, steel roof manufacturers have this covered too – their products are designed to ref ect the heat away from the house.

But, let’s face it, the most important aspect of the roof, is, of course, the colour. The team at Colorbond has this advice on choosing a roof colour: • Take into account your surrounds and environment, the streetscape and your neighbours’ homes.

Greys and greens are good for country houses, for example, though you choosing a stronger red hue will contrast well with all those trees and bush.

• Consider the other external f nishes you’ll be using on the house such as brick walls, render, timber or weatherboard.

• It’s a good idea to work out a colour schemes before you start renovating, so collect samples of colours you like for the walls and guttering, garage door and front door, fences and downpipes. Take photos of schemes you like and any samples you have collected to your roof manufacturer, who will help you decide on the perfect roof colour.

• If you need more inspiration take a walk around your neighbourhood, or someone else’s, and see what roof colours appeal.

Sometimes the best move is not to move at all

Tick of approval At some stage during your renovation or building project you are going to need to sort out building approvals and inspections.

Not all types of renovation projects will require a building approval, but most do, so before you begin it’s best to check with the Sunshine Coast Council to see if yours does. You must get approval before you begin work.

A building certif er will assess whether the work you want to do complies with certain state and federal legal requirements and if it does, you’ll be given a permit to carry out the work. You can employ either a private certif er or use a local government one, but the certif er has to be accredited with the Queensland Building and

Construction Commission (QBCC) to be able to do the work.

Once building work has started on your project, even though you have approval, the certif er is required to carry out inspections.

You’ll f nd out how many inspections are needed and when they will occur once you get approval. Under state legislation, the certif er will conduct an inspection at the footings stage, slab stage, the frame stage and at the end of the project. The purpose of these inspections is to make sure the construction work complies with building standards.

It’s your responsibility, as well as your builder’s, to ensure the work is

up to standard and matches the approved plans and contract documents. If you feel you don’t have the time or skills to ensure the quality of work, you can have a consultant monitor it for you. It is not the building certif er’s job to do this – the certif er’s role is to act in the public interest, not the interest of the individual home owner.

To f nd out more head to the Sunshine Coast Council website at sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au and click on ‘Planning and Building’, or check out the Queensland Building and Construction Commission’s website at qbcc.qld.gov.au and click on ‘Building or Renovating’.

Drainage DIY Do you have a soggy patch in the garden that never seems to dry up even in warm weather? It’s time to sort out your drainage, but the good news is it’s a DIY job you can knock over in a day.

STEP 1: You’ll need to buy perforated PVC pipe, agricultural fabric and crushed stone. You’ll also need a spirit level, tape measure and shovel for this job. Before heading to the shop though, check out the next step.

STEP 2: Decide where you are going to direct the excess water to – a garden bed that needs regular water is the best spot. Then measure the distance from the lowest part of your soggy spot to the garden bed – you’ll need this to know how much pipe to buy.

STEP 3: Dig your trench about 50 centimetres deep by 30 centimetres wide. Be sure that your trench is always heading slightly downhill – as you head closer to the garden bed you might have to dig your trench a little deeper. Use your spirit level to test the drop.

STEP 4: Line the trench with the crushed stone and then lay the pipe on the stone. Place the agricultural fabric over the pipe to stop the soil blocking up the holes, then place another layer of stone on the top.

Replace the soil and add some turf or grass seed to cover up the trench and then wait for the next lot of rain to test out your handiwork.

USING PATTERN & COLOUR How do you use pattern and colour to create a successful interior? Follow these steps: 1. Edit. Lay out all your options in terms of colour and eliminate those that are clashing with the others. You’ll f nd that you settle on a shade or a couple of shades.

2. Once you have your main colour, add in some contrast. If, say, you have chosen a muted blue, contrast it with a pop of orange.

3. Make sure you vary the scale of the pattern for interest and contrast.

4. If you love a large-scale print, limit yourself to just one, while keeping the other prints smaller.

5. Have fun! Design is all about trying new things and being bold. You never know if you don’t give it a go.

finishing touches COMING OF AGE C A you looking at your living space Are and thinking it’s time to grow up? an A sophisticated interior is easy to ac achieve. To pull off the polished look th think pared-back luxury rather than cr cramming the space with expensive p pieces and old-fashioned furniture.

H Here are some tips: • Invest in furniture with clean lines and in understated tones.

• Keep soft furnishings simple – bright colours are okay, but avoid lots of patterns.

• Dark colours add mood and depth, so don’t be afraid to go for black or chocolate brown furniture.

• Mix it up with a designer chair or chairs.

• Add softness with a rug or throw and a simple vase of f owers.

You’ll have these pieces for life. Timberart’s Signature bookcase, $6294, and SilverSlip cocktail cabinet $6182, are statement pieces that are made to last. Call 5477 1460.

tip.

When buying a new lounge, it’s so important to get the right size for the space. A large lounge in a small room will just overpower the space, while a two-seater sofa in a large room will look silly. Before heading to your furniture retailer, measure your space, taking into account doorways and corridors. And allow for clearance from other pieces of furniture, such as sideboards and coffee tables.
